Goals are changed after every game.  I was a contender and he wanted to make the playoffs.  Then after a game he wanted a first round pick, it would alternate between the two so after every game it got quite tedious.  Luckily it was just for one season.

That is weird.  Maybe my goals are changing more than I noticed.  I'm going to pay more attention and see what happens.

 

Granted, two of my goals are already done.  I upgraded my parking lot but failed to win the season opener.  I only have one left that can change.

You would know when it happens because you'll  get prompted after every game lol.  I think I made way too many trades and went from a contender to a rebuilder lol and that's what caused the glitch. 

 

My top player was Martin Necas, 91 overall 2 way center.  His attributes are high but he doesn't score much so I traded him and his $9 mil cap hit for 2 1st rounders.  I crapped the bed on the first pick but actually won the lottery on the second.  I had 4 out of the top 5 prospects scouted but took the consensus number one pick, glad I did because he's a franchise sniper.  He was 79 overall but I decided to send him back to the CHL for the year.  Now I am in the offseason in my 6th or 7th year and he's 19yo 85 overall, crazy.  Cannot wait to unleash my new toy on the league, this must be what Benning/Green felt like with EP40:lol:.

 

Totally recommend drafting CHL players and returning them to play out their CHL careers, they develop well.  Do you guys sign all your picks, even the crappy ones?  I wonder how prospects without contracts develop.

Thanks for the tip.

 

I actually play every game, so I am only 55 games into my first season.  I usually only manage about four or five seasons before the next edition comes out.  Subsequently, long term development doesn't really come into play the way it should.

I have two franchises going, one were I am the GM of the whalers(hurricanes) and I only sim the games.  Last night while watching the Canucks game I simmed three seasons lol.  They definitely made the simming faster.

Thanks for finally answering that. You on PS4, Tre?

I am but I haven't done any multiplayer in a year, I don't like paying for PS+ but that'll probably change once RDR2 comes out.  Last time I played EASHL it was pretty unenjoyable trying to get a 6v6 game.

So after 5 years of simming my scouting staff looks pretty good.  I fired everyone under a B grade and hired only amateur scouts.  I put two or three scouts in each of the CHL leagues with one or two scouts finding prospects and the other  doing auto scouting.   I noticed  a lot more gems/busts when doing this, so I drafted a bunch of gems.  Out of all those picks, I drafted one player that was 48overall (elite: low).  Didn't think he would pan out at all so I didn't sign him, he ended up being 73 the following year.  Looking forward to seeing how the rest of those picks turn out.  Also your picks that you don't sign do end up going back to their respected leagues and will develop(maybe not as well?) so you don't need to sign every rookie you draft(I wasn't sure of this).  It shows you how long you have their rights before they become UFA's.  This definitely comes in handy with goalies,  because they are so low they wont play much in the AHL thus probably wont develop as well.

There is a new roster update as well.

Just noticed in my Franchise for the Canucks, Luc Bourdon's #28 has been retired even though it was never officially retired.

 

Classy.  Great attention to detail.  I don't know if they did this in previous editions, but I thought it was worth a mention.

What’s the verdict on EASHL? Figure it’ll be on sale soon as usual so might pick it up.

Its okay. The biggest problems are:

 

- Users getting "error" messages while connecting to a game (disconnected). This happens quite often and it is a HUGE time waster.

- A LOT of glitch-y goals (like passes going into the net, players walking into the goalie and scoring without shooting, etc.)

- Absurd amount of penalties still (don't poke unless you're facing the opposing player)

 

Other than that, the AI is harder to play against and its harder to score on goalies. Breakaways aren't always a given unless you can pull off a cheese goal. Overall, it's quite fun.

Thanking you sir. Wasn't there last night and now I get to check it before I spend the day moving ^_^

 

Edit: never mind lol, no changes to the canucks prospects or players.

It would be interesting to see some of the logic behind the play-by-play and analysts' comments in the game.

 

For example, Ray just said my team is having a mediocre season, at best.  However, after 66 games I am currently first in the entire NHL.

 

Another example, I have seen a comment box on the screen stating my goalie has a 3 game shutout streak but he really only had one shutout a couple of games ago.

 

Or in NHL18, when I did an expansion Franchise, they used to talk about how my fan base has been known to turn on the team, except I had sold out every single game since expansion.

 

Just some wierd observations.
